I never thought I would ask about this, but alas, I am.
White trash? Maybe.
I live in Portland, Oregon. I was thinking about getting prepaid because it is cheaper for me.
Anyone know anything about this BS? Fun? Good reception? Good deal?

My sister was visiting for 1 month 1/2 and I got her one at target.
Reception was better than with my iPhone, she had text message, and you only spend whatever you put on the card.cons: even though only me and 2 more people had her number, she would get calls from day one from random people, I guess when you throw the phone away, the number stays active even if someone else is using it.

I have pay as you go with t-mobile. no complaints. I don't use a cell phone much so it's substantially cheaper than a phone with a contract. The only downside is that text messsages are 15 cents to receive and send - but I use google voice for text now.
I really depends on how much you use the phone though.

pay as you go is all on the billing end, zero difference on the network side compared to a paid plan from the same carrier.

Random people calling me sounds kind of fun.

I use PagePlusWireless.com
on an old Motorola Q....1200 text/month
1200 calls/month
100 megs download (seems forgiving)$29.99 / month, no complaints, but I never need customer service anyway.... yes, it takes a few timout calls to signup originally....
I had a buddy hack the Sprint based Motorola Q to work on Verizon, as PagePlus uses Verizon's prepaid network....
